## Reviews

### "Futurestay simplifies my life" — 5.0/5

> **Annie** | *4 April 2024* | Chemicals | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It's a great all-in one and very easy to use interface. It looks beautiful\!
> 
> **Cons**: nothing so far\! I'm liking the functionality and getting to learn more about how it can help me manage my rentals
> 
> I am just getting started putting up my first listing on Airbnb and wasn't sure if I would need software in order to keep it connected to my website. I signed up for the Futurestay free trial and it was quite easy to set up a sync between my website calendar and my listing. The entire process took less than 10 minutes and I realized that I could just create a website directly through Futurestay instead, and not have to pay separate hosting fees. It also looks better than my old site, and is connected to Google. Overall, works well and would recommend to anyone just starting out.

### "Ok channel manager - you need to do all the work yourself with little oversight." — 4.0/5

> **William** | *16 April 2021* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: the website widget if offers to show my rentals
> 
> **Cons**: the calendars, the blocking of dates, the glitches, the errors when putting ;listings on Airbnb, etc...
> 
> not too pleasant.  I used for two years and had about 20 Airbnb reservations.  I switched to a different channel manager and in less than 30 days I have already  masses over 280 Airbnb reservations.  I do not believe they did it correctly.

### "Oh Boy.....if your time is valuable I just want to say Host Beware\!\!" — 1.0/5

> **Lisa** | *21 March 2022* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I didn't use it at all because it wasn't what I had thought that it was supposed to be when I initiated the account.
> 
> **Cons**: I was unable to cancel it before I got started since it wasn't something that I was needing.
> 
> Horrible no personal contact which is so frustrating.  Automated systems cannot do everything you need human contact to truly run a business well.

### "Great tool as a first time rental owner" — 5.0/5

> **Elizabeth** | *4 April 2024* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I enjoyed the ease of use and being a one stop shop for everything I needed to manage the rental. I needed to get the rental together in a hurry and it was nice to have stripe, and iCal connected so I didnt have to mess with any extra apps or steps. It was great how quick it was to get paid too.
> 
> **Cons**: I was a bit confused on getting everything connected at first.

### "Great onboarding experience - Futurestay helped me get a direct booking site for my rental" — 5.0/5

> **Arissa** | *4 April 2024* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy onboarding. Connected with my Airbnb account and my property settings looked good. The site is super clean and works well on my mobile phone. Very excited to have my site available on Google Vacation Rentals.
> 
> **Cons**: Dashboard could offer more rich features. Maybe some reporting on my revenue would be nice.
> 
> I'm really impressed with how knowledgeable the support staff is and how they helped me update my Airbnb settings.
